Description

Portal do Oeste is a family-owned company passionate about its work, focused on cultivating and marketing high-quality fruits, which began its journey in 2006 in the municipality of Barreiras\-BA. Through hard work, dedication, and a strong focus on quality and continuous improvement of our products and services, we have developed a modern production system, rigorous quality control, and a robust socio-environmental responsibility. In 2017, we arrived in Palmas\-TO with our Distribution Center, enabling us to deliver fresh and healthy fruits daily to residents of Tocantins, thereby contributing to people's well-being and nutrition. We are hiring a Truck Driver responsible for transporting and delivering farm-grown fruits to customers, ensuring goods are delivered in perfect condition and within established deadlines. This professional must strictly follow route planning, safeguard fruit integrity during transit, and maintain delivery service quality. 1\. Drive the company-owned refrigerated truck for customer deliveries, operating in compliance with traffic laws and safety regulations to ensure safe fruit transportation and prevent accidents daily during working hours. 2\. Follow the planned route, adhering to the itinerary set by the company to optimize delivery time, ensuring all customers are served within agreed deadlines according to the daily delivery schedule. 3\. Inspect the truck’s condition through daily checks—including oil, tires, refrigeration system, etc.—to ensure the vehicle operates under optimal conditions and avoid breakdowns or failures before each trip. 4\. Monitor and control the truck’s temperature, adjusting climate control during transit to preserve fruit quality and ensure fruits are transported under appropriate conditions throughout the entire delivery process. 5\. Assist in loading fruit cargo, helping organize and position loads inside the truck to ensure proper accommodation of fruits and prevent damage during transportation at the start of each loading. 6\. Verify delivery documentation—including invoices, freight bills, and other required documents—to ensure deliveries are executed accurately and as per customer orders before departing for delivery. 7\. Maintain constant communication with the logistics team, reporting delivery progress, potential delays, or transportation issues to keep both the company and customers informed about delivery status throughout the working day. 8\. Perform unloading of goods, assisting in offloading fruits at delivery locations to ensure fruits are delivered in perfect condition at all delivery points. 9\. Record incidents occurring during transit, noting any problems or unexpected events encountered en route—such as damages or delays—to ensure the company has timely information for resolving issues and preventing recurrence immediately after such events occur. 10\. Conduct basic truck maintenance, performing minor repairs—e.g., replacing bulbs and fuses or replenishing fluids—to keep the truck in good operating condition and avoid delivery interruptions, daily or as needed. 11\. Complete trip reports, logging data such as mileage, fuel consumption, and other variables to provide cost-control and operational efficiency metrics upon completion of each trip. 12\. Manage return packaging by collecting empty plastic crates or pallets from customers, ensuring availability of reusable packaging for the company upon completion of each delivery.
